    Pastel V12 not working after Windows 10 upgrade

    Good Morning,

    I recently updated a laptop running Window 8.1 to Windows 10. Since the upgrade, Pastel Xpress V12 is no longer working properly.

    The first message it gives me is "One or more companies have been deleted through the operating system or was removed from the company list. Pastel will now update the menu selection. Please reselect a company in the "open company" screen. " The open company cannot be selected and when I try to locate a server, one cannot be found. I have gone through all the folder sharing and separator options and managed to restore a company only to find that it had been deleted the next time I opened pastel. Could the fact that I am running SQL Pervasive version 9 be causing a problem?

    Any advice would be most welcome

    Many thanks

    Jacky

    Hi Jacky,

    When you tried to locate the server, what did you do?

    You need to browse to the Registration folder, which resides in the Xpress12/Custom folder.

    Hi Neville

    I have the exact same problem as mentioned by Jacky. I can locate the server and see the company in the server but when I try and click on it and get it to add to the add company list it won't let me. And if I click "add company" it says "company already registered to server" but it won't let me open the company and work in it.

    Any advice. Much appreciated!

    Try the following:

    In Windows, browse to C:\PastelXX or C:\XpressXX (depending on what version you are using), and then locate the Partner.exe or Xpress.exe file.

    Right-click on the file and go to Properties, and then open the Compatibility tab. Tick the option named " Run this program as an administrator", and then click on Apply and OK.

    Thanks Neville

    Worked like a charm. Although now when I try view cutstomer statements it tells me "the document you are trying to print has an incorrect page size or paper style. Please refer to the troubleshooting topic in online help"

    I have tried to change paper styles and sizes as much as possible.

    Your printer driver on Windows is probably set to Letter size, whereas Pastel only works with A4 size.

    Go to your printer driver and change the paper size to A4. Depending on the particular printer driver, you may need to edit the size in three tabs, i.e. General, Advanced and Device Settings.

    Once you have edited the printer driver, open the company in Pastel and reselect the printer under File...Printer/Fonts Setup in order to refresh the latest changes to the printer.

    Dear Neville,

    I have the same problem that I can not add a company. If I try to run it as a administrator the Pastel does not open, but gives me a n error: "Run-time error'76': Path not found"

    Can you provide more information?

    What version of Windows are you running?

    Is Pastel running as a stand-alone system, or over a network?

    What has changed in your IT setup just before you started getting the error?

    I was upgrading from windows 8 to windows 10.

    It is running over a network.

    The changes in setup was basically just the upgrade from win 8 to 10.
